THE MEETING AT HIGGINSVlLLE.

A meeting of about one hundred,
principally citizens of the town, took
place at Higginsville, last Monday.
Mr.. Higgins was made chairman and
Mr.. Luce secretary.
DR.. J. j. Fulkerson, Chas. Hoefer,
]. H. Campbell, r. Todhunter and y.
W. Brown were appointed a committee
to report resolutions. In their absence
Capt. w. A. Thornton addressed the
meeting In favor Of railroad legislation
of a conservative character.
The committee reported a set of very
conservative resolutions, deprecating
legislation injurious TO railroads. A
copy of them reached US yesterday,
TOO late to get them into this issue.
We will print them next week.
--s
Every farmer who has a bushel Of
wheat to sell is interested in railroad
legislation. Take Lafayette county.
In a good year it ships from 100000
to 1900, 900 bushels of wheat, and
more. Upon this the ate to St. Louis,
243 miles, at 20 cents per hundred
pounds, IL cents per bushel, is about
lequal to what is charged from St.
iLouis to New Orleans by water,
n. SO miles, or five times the dis
{tsd5 6teamboats can, no doubt,
Observation-Disclosures less than railroads,
IbutfS3enAapsssesstoo great. Fifteen
cents pr hda1ftassSa wheat to st.
Louis, or 9 csdtspab aAst s = fair
rate to the shippers sd eilfSAda.
When the farmer puts in AVhni9sdeSl
raising the crop, on land WORTH 4QRs
acre, and realizes but 80 cents Eef
bushel for the grain at last, certainly 9
cents per bushel should be sufficient
for the three or four days service re-
tgsrding il which is done by the rail.
ffoad, especially when it has neither to
load o unload the car. Fifteen cents
per hundred pounds amounts TO S6C
per car load, and a train OF twenty cars
at this rate brings to the company
$1,000. This seems to be a reasonable,
even liberal, remuneration. Now
what would the farmers of Lafayette
county save by the reduction? The
difference between II cents and 9 cents
per pushed, or 8 cents on, say the mini.
mum crop, 1900, 900 bushels, amount
ing to the sum of $40 900 90 per an
mum, OF enough to pay the interest on
the county bonded Indebtedness. And
yet we are told from some directions
that we should let things remain as
they are; that we should not endeavor
to remedy them by efficient legislation,
which may still be made just and un-
oppressive. That the rate we suggest
is a sufficient one is evidenced by the
fact that under MIR. GarrisOn's manage
ment, wheat was hauled FROM this
county at that price, at a time when
iron and steel were very much higher,
when the employees Of the road were
paid more wages, and when wheat
being at a greater price could better
have borne a high tariff than it can
now. 1t is still further proven by the
fact that for several years past the
Wabash has been hauling wheat on an
open rate from r s.. L. junction tc
ST. Louis at Is cents per 100 pounds.
